When Ange came in, Spurs had just finished 8th. The squad was a mess. They lost Harry Kane, completely changed the playing style and Ange moved them up to 5th. He’s massively overhauled the squad, and is changing the culture behind the scenes as well if you listen to interviews with back room staff. Spurs have wasted a lot of money on poor transfers the last few years, but now there’s much better alignment between Ange and the new leaders at the club (Lange and Munn). With the money from the new stadium going to more intelligent transfers, I think Spurs have bright years ahead under Ange.
@@infostudy101Consistency will come. It's always an issue for Ange's teams at the start of the process. This Man City victory may well be the point from which results follow. 🤞
Top scorers in the league Conceded the same amount of goals as Chelsea & City Knocked City out of the League Cup Won 3 out of 4 Europa League matches 3 points off third place 2 set-piece goals conceded all season I don't think things are as bad as what people think.
Jack nailed it in the end, this Spurs team can run through anyone on their day. If they’re playing at their best there isn’t much you can do but defend like prime Stoke. Issue is consistency and translating this dominance into wins over low blocks. So fun to watch nonetheless, keeping the PL alive.
it's the purity of the football I enjoy the most and you can see that the players do too .. especially when it works in their favour. It's high intensity effort so it's all in, all the time.. else it backfires.
Of course Spurs should be better. Their problem is consistency, but what is apparent is that under Ange Spurs have the capacity to beat anyone. When they find their consistency, they'll be unstoppable.
I've got an intuition that they'll have a polar opposite season to last season where they started well but tanked post Xmas to this time not having a good first half of the season but finishing much better in the second half of the season January onwards. They ended last season with quite a bit of a negative feeling due to how poorly they ended the season. I think this season they'll be a team that grows into the season & sees it out in a much better shape
Buying young players at the start of the build is the right approach... Add "ready made, right now" players as that younger generation is reaching maturity... Tottenham are age profiling the right way 👍
I was going to listen to this, but now that I'm on a Tottenham high I dont want to hear any potential negativity. Highest ceiling and lowest floor of any team, that's all there is to it
People really underestimate the mess Ange walked into. An ageing and very very average squad and team that was being kept vaguely competitive by Harry Kane who promptly left. We were 8th and looked like we could keep heading downwards.
Guys for all the good production that goes into these videos, the Phil Hay shoehorned bits just don’t work. The clumsiness of it undermines the other good work.
I find the commentary weird. They start by saying Spurs' underlying numbers are really good, including defensively but then describe how they are too open. There never seems an attempt to match the perception of Spurs to their actual performance. According to this Arteta has created a ruthless defensive style that helps them bridge the gap but they're only 1.1 xga better defensively. Make it make sense.
Once people choose a narrative. They just run with it no matter the facts. If they actually watched the goals we've conceded this season, they'd realise that they're mostly avoidable with better individual defending. Not because it's a big issue with the system
@@cyn1clcynide Basically what the squad quality is like. The obsession with being 10th is a bit ridiculous. Johnson puts his head near the overhead kick and Solanke's hand doesn't touch the ball against Ipswich and spurs are 3rd
I know what he's saying about Liverpool signing Van Dijk and Alisson. Big money for top players. But at the time they were both huge risks. LFC's data said they could step up but remember. Van Dijk had not played for a top team or at Champions League level. And Alisson had one full season of playing in Europe at Roma before LFC paid huge money for him. Maguire and Kepa were similar position big money signings at the time and didnt work out. So its always a risk.
@@Gooner184the parallels are all there. They signed for the two biggest clubs, they were both record signings at the time for their position, both had prem league experience but not with a top club, both played better for country then club back then, etc. It’s just that Liverpool did their scouting well and United didn’t. That’s the difference.
@SKa-tt9nm Van Dijk was Southampton's player of the season in his first year there and Scottish Premiership PFA a couple of times. So I wouldn't say he was far better at country than club, at least in the eyes of those who watched him. As for similarities, bar both of them being expensive CB's, I don't think there is much. Van Dijk played 3 seasons in the Eridevise, 3 in Scotland and 2.5 in the premiership. Plus over 30 games in European club football including the champions league. Maguire had 3 seasons in league 1, a couple in the championship and 3 premier league. With one European club game. I think there is quite a bit of difference there in terms of top flight experience. Van Dijk being Dutch means there weren't as many eyes on him. Unlike Maguire whose English and benefited from England not having a lot of depth at CB. A bit similar to Kalvin Phillips, he caught form at a very convenient time.
Ange is worth giving time. He will turn it around and if not it's still better then watching anything Spurs post Poch. I can't see why they wouldn't give him time to build the team. It's not like Spurs are expected to win anything soon... or ever.
In my opinion Spurs are playing the best football in the league right now. According to the stats that you shown in the video I believe postecoglu is doing well and they have good chances to take the spots that are leading to UCL. The major problems is the inconsistency and also that they do not have 1-2 world class players that can lead the team.
Only the athletic could use a video about Spurs to frame Arsenal as plucky underdogs with a limited budget who are doing it right by playing anti-football 😂
How do Tottenham actually start winning things? bit oversimplistic but just imagine that they are playing against Man City every week and they might just go unbeaten
Two problems in our Spurs team: experience and mentality. They’re not performing consistently; better against big teams than small, which suggests a lack of concentration in some games and an unwillingness to run. This team needs more experience either through time or incoming transfers. Same potentially with mentality. Only then will Angeball work properly. When they show intensity every game and know it well enough to problem solve for themselves.
If you watch them play out of the back for example, it looks like they drill that stuff heavily. And the game looks like a drill too. Even if they do lose possession in those positions 1 out of 5 times, that number goes down the more practice they have. It seems clear that Ange wants to train them to be mentally comfortable under pressure. Pragmatism is great for the big must-win games but if that’s all you ever do, you never operate under real pressure. Trust the process❤
Football is an art, not a science. How you get your shot as well as how you concede one is just as important as how many you get and concede. Not every teams 2 minutes of possession is the same - some are more useful than others etcetra etcetra. People need to understand this.
Spurs must be better by now. I am not expecting them to win the league but we could try to win Carabao,FA cup or Europa league. We should not have any problem beating the bottom half teams but that's not the case
58 games is absolutely no time at all in football and that's all Ange has had with what is now one of the youngest and newly assembled squads in the league. I'm reserving my judgement until we've had at least 100 games with the coach and had a few summers to develop the squad. All the signs are there that we can be a great team, but there's still holes in the squad which are disrupting our seasons under Ange.
Also recruitment wise, you've got it wrong Jack Pitt Brooke. Arsenal and Spurs were quite similar in recruitment up until, Arsenal started over performing and finished 2nd season before last to City. Then they started buying more experienced players like Rice, and Trossard. But they were also interested in Mudryk, lets not forget. Spurs under Conte only preferred experienced players, they got in Romero, Perisic, Richarlison, and Bissouma. Also Kulusevski, and Bentancur. These are some key players under the modern Ange team. And also another established player under Ange is Maddison. Didn't mention him.
They really just forgot about Maddison entirely when talking about players they bought to improve the team now. Also, he's from before Ange but Bissouma is another fairly new experienced first team player and they brought in Werner to deepen the squad with experience. Also, Vicario is in his late 20's but maybe it's different for GKs. Yes Spurs have bought lots of young players, but these guys just totally missed multiple experienced players that have also come in.
The Levy Haters will hate you pointing out that Spurs are the 6th highest payers in the Prem. They think it’s around 10th! That said, we are now the Best Off The Ball with the pressing and 2nd XG For and 4th XG against. Spurs just need to stay fit and convert their chances and they will challenge.
I came here to see all the we just beat City away 4-0 (24/11/24) the biggest loss under Pep and the most straight losses (5 in a row). This is a process despite what happens with our next result.
Spurs needs to stop sacking managers one would think they had a resolving door on the managers office. They need to change the focus onto other more relevant problems. After so many quality managers passing through it has to be something else. All of those managers had great results against great teams and catastrophic failures against teams they should have easily beaten.
@Tifo please don't cut the midway game. Just invert it. Start naming players (off-mic) and then have the fellers guess which club they all played for. At the very least (whether you're playing it or not) explain the midway game EVERY episode. The stability that that repeated explanation provides is the single thread my mental health is suspended by!
Hugo also stayed in the middle of the goal on that Bruno Fernande's penalty (who never shoots pens centrally). So this statement from Hugo was not nice either. Why did you run towards Trippier on that own goal, making the angle small for him??!?!? Hugo we could make hundred claims about your idiotic actions.
It is funny to watch this in hindsight of a 4-0 win against the reigning champions at their home ground. The comparison to Arsenal is laughable since Arteta has been at it for a while, has a larger budget and their latest win was not Carabao Cup in 08. Ange is making a complete overhaul of the club, from removing the Spursy mentality and forming a team with longevity.
How so? The last 5 minutes in a row in particular are nothing but extremely complementary to Tottenham. Among many other things, they mention that spurs play better against teams above them, which is literally what happened today. Work on your attention span.

Imo It's just like were going backwards in media literacy - and that's worrying for a bunch of reasons. Sorry for getting all mad at just you for that.
Oh Jack you're spot on, that Liverpool were transformed by identifying the keeper and CB as priority positions to strengthen and duly paid £140m for van Dijk and Alisson but they were able to do that bc they held out for months to get the bedt price for Coutinho, before before duly getting ... £140m from Barca. Spurs got £100m for Kane and Levy did what he ajways does, he focused on buying with resale profit in mind, Gray and Bergvall plus a dud keeper!
If it wasn't for the numerous poor decisions the board havd made , we would definitely be further along. It's not entirely their fault but the footballing decisions over the years have been dreadful.
I mean they should be ready to whoop city by 4 goals by now, right? Maybe no trophies yet, but whooping city by 4 in front of both of their home fans gets a participation one for sure
Why does he randomly group the top 9 together, there's a 2 million quid difference between City and West Ham! Spurs are closer to bottom than top in financial terms
I think Ange missed a trick over the summer not signing ‘big lad’ wing backs, or at least players with the versatility to play at both centre back, fullback and as a deep lying midfielder. It worked a treat against City last year when he played Van de Ven at left back. Lloyd Kelly would have been perfect for this team, for example
Don't think it was Ange's decision tbh. Looks like he doesn't have much input in the transfers compared to his previous jobs. For example at Celtic he was without a director of football or technical director and was just having to come up with players to buy by himself, and he supplied the likes of Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate, Kyogo Furuhashi who are all still first team players who were bought for a combined £7m roughly. He also brought in in his first window the likes of Cameron Carter-Vickers, the most important player at the club still, Jota, who was sold for a club record equaling fee, and Matt O'Riley who was then sold and broke that fee further. That was all inside his first 6/7 months at the club.
@@corroded lmaooooooooo. Ben white was a 23 year old Center back with one year experience in the premier league when we signed him He had been playing in the championship before then Stop lying mate
@@anjolatope-babalola2338 50m defenders are 'potential' now rofl, behave. He played 3200 minutes over 36 appearances for a team that finished in the top half of the table.

T.E.S.S, great argument mate. Well reasoned.
xG, xA, xGA, etc are great (we all love stats right?) but you can't forget xSpursy.. it's like dark matter; scientists haven't proved it exists yet, but the absence of other things (points on the board in this case) is highly suggestive.

Lmao here after the Spurs 4-0 win 😅. But explains the enigma that is Spurs to beat City one week and lose to Ipswich the next
As a City fans, thanks for jinxing us like this. Never fogiving JJ Bull ffs.
Oh Jack you're spot on, that Liverpool were transformed by identifying the keeper and CB as priority positions to strengthen and duly paid £140m for van Dijk and Alisson but they were able to do that bc they held out for months to get the bedt price for Coutinho, before before duly getting ... £140m from Barca. Spurs got £100m for Kane and Levy did what he ajways does, he focused on buying with resale profit in mind, Gray and Bergvall plus a dud keeper!
Is Madison not a player who makes the squad better right now?
Releasing this on the same day as the game against City. They clearly assumed Spurs would lose.
My weekly medicine, thanks!
If it wasn't for the numerous poor decisions the board havd made , we would definitely be further along. It's not entirely their fault but the footballing decisions over the years have been dreadful.
5th is Ucl?
joe devine one of the funniest around
Underlying FC
I mean they should be ready to whoop city by 4 goals by now, right?
Maybe no trophies yet, but whooping city by 4 in front of both of their home fans gets a participation one for sure
Why does he randomly group the top 9 together, there's a 2 million quid difference between City and West Ham! Spurs are closer to bottom than top in financial terms
I think Ange missed a trick over the summer not signing ‘big lad’ wing backs, or at least players with the versatility to play at both centre back, fullback and as a deep lying midfielder. It worked a treat against City last year when he played Van de Ven at left back. Lloyd Kelly would have been perfect for this team, for example
Don't think it was Ange's decision tbh. Looks like he doesn't have much input in the transfers compared to his previous jobs. For example at Celtic he was without a director of football or technical director and was just having to come up with players to buy by himself, and he supplied the likes of Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate, Kyogo Furuhashi who are all still first team players who were bought for a combined £7m roughly. He also brought in in his first window the likes of Cameron Carter-Vickers, the most important player at the club still, Jota, who was sold for a club record equaling fee, and Matt O'Riley who was then sold and broke that fee further. That was all inside his first 6/7 months at the club.
His system uses fast agile fullbacks that need to go all day. Bigger men struggle to last 90 minutes at full speed.

He has said repeatedly that he gets the final decision on all transfers.
Amorim, that you? 👆
Who’s watching this AFTER Spurs thumped City 4~0? How much does that change this conversation?
4:12 Not sure Leicester should be getting away with playing all toddlers
20:40 we bought ben white at 23, thats potential mate
My ears pricked up at that point too 😂
Ben White was an established PL quality defender, and went for 50 million. Hardly potential.
@@corroded lmaooooooooo. Ben white was a 23 year old Center back with one year experience in the premier league when we signed him
He had been playing in the championship before then
Stop lying mate
@@corroded wrong
@@anjolatope-babalola2338 50m defenders are 'potential' now rofl, behave. He played 3200 minutes over 36 appearances for a team that finished in the top half of the table.
White is the 10th most expensive Premier League defender, ever. You don't sign players like that because you think they might be good. You know they are good and White was a known quality.
T.E.S.S, great argument mate. Well reasoned.
Ourselves
Whatever's stopping us, it's certainly not Manchester.
Whoever wrote that latin gag deserves a raise
xG, xA, xGA, etc are great (we all love stats right?) but you can't forget xSpursy.. it's like dark matter; scientists haven't proved it exists yet, but the absence of other things (points on the board in this case) is highly suggestive.
